In case you need an excuse to sing at #CHI2025, come find our KaraokAI interactivity booth, where you'll meet the wonderful @annarlcarter.bsky.social and the rest of the brilliant team. Highly recommend both the singing and the company.

Photo of the KaraokAI booth at CHI2025 Interactivity. A standing banner reads "KaraokAI: Turning Knowledge Into Your Favourite Karaoke Anthems," decorated with a QR code linking to karaokai.tech and silhouettes of a cheering crowd. The booth is framed with just the right amounts of gold tinsel and inflatable musical instruments, setting just the right vibes for a karaoke experience. (Inside the booth, not pictured: a tiny dinosaur wearing fashionable glasses, very essential.)

It was a pleasure to deliver a talk on equity, heritage, and multi-sensory technology in public spaces yesterday—and how we can do better to shift power dynamics back to the communities these spaces serve.

#Equity #Heritage #UrbanTech #PublicSpaces #CommunityLedDesign #NUIdeas #HCI

Image of the author (Anna Carter) presenting a slide about individuals who have less access to public spaces, there is an animation on the screen talking about how this can effect users with mobility needs such as challenges in transport, uneven pathways and busy crowds
